Dinosaures

This movie isn't about a sophisticated attempt to tunnel into the past

using a sample memory storage device to extrapolate possible scenarios.

No. This movie is about KIDS.

It's a plausible daydream-fantasy for a child interested in dinosaurs

(Geller, Ross Jr. ?), cartoons (oh, small crowd there) and any kind of

technobabble (see StarTrek) - it teaches hardship in life and the value

of friendships, much as those popular (*sickly*) children shows. It

teaches the American Dream. Give your kids a chance with this one -

they'll probably love it; just as i did when i was 7 or 8.

I watched this way back as a little kid when VHS tapes were still around. Until I rediscovered it about thirty years later, I could have sworn it was a fever dream. I couldn't even remember its name until I accidentally stumbled upon it here.

Anyway, a trio of dinosaur loving kids are zapped inside their television set and wind up trapped in the world of their favorite cartoon, simply named "Dinosaurs". There, they must battle a tribe of cavemen named the Rockies led by the evil Allosaurus despot, Mr. Big, before they can find a way back home by retrieving a fuse stolen by the villains.

The three child actors are whiny and put up a lousy performance. The cartoon heroes weren't much better: Rex and Tops were thoughtless jerks at first and Forrys voice was really annoying, but they did have a change of heart and help the kids get back home. Mr. Big with his deep, booming voice and his goofy gang of cave people were a total riot to watch.

The dinosaur puppets and suits looked passable for a TV movie, but their uneven movements, poor lip sync, and barely functioning mouths and eyes lessened their effect, especially when compared to those used in Jim Henson's "Dinosaurs" broadcasted around the same time.

There were other good qualities. The bar fight and final battle against Mr. Big were surprisingly fun to watch. A few pieces of scenery the kids pass during their journey were pretty cool looking, too, like the boneyard and the dinosaur grim reaper statue. The cartoon introduction near the beginning had a catchy theme song, and its animation looked like an interesting mix of Ren and Stimpy and the Flintstones.

Overall, this wasn't the worst dinosaur film, and the sheer level of cheesiness made it good for a laugh. But chances are, most kids would only give this a single watch, even if they were big dinosaur fans.

When Timmy and his friends Jamie and Mick decide to watch their favorite cartoon on Timmy's father's new invention, they are sucked into the world of the cartoon, but sadly, they see it is not as colorful and perfect as they think, and now must team up with the heroes to save Saur City from total meltdown at the hand of Mr. Big and his Rockies.

Yeah, the movie is cheesy, but seeing as how the world is inside a cartoon, it actually works for this film. While the outside look like a kids' cartoon, the world when the kids enter looks as imperfect as the real world, as there are some stuff that would not fly in a kid's cartoon (one scene has the three kids going through a graveyard that Mick says "would've been too scary for kids", and another takes place inside a bar). Thankfully, the actors do a good job, and the dinosaur characters, which are a mix of puppets and suit actors, are incredible for a movie that was made for television. This is a good cheesy movie that is worth checking out at least once.

Many years back, I played a Super Nintendo game called Dinocity. There was talks that it was based on some film that I have never heard of. Years later, thanks to the internet, I saw such movie.

It was terrible.

I'm sure kids will like it. This looks like the type of film I would love if I saw it was a kid. I'll watch the Super Mario Bros movie before I ever watch this thing again.

It's about three kids who gets sucked into an animated cartoon in a science lab and end up in a dinosaur world. They befriend some talking dinosaurs named Rex and Topps and have to stop another dinosaur named Mr Big and his band of cavemen.

The acting is really bad but the girl playing Jamie is hot. This is more for the kids as it's rather forgettable and I just watched it and I forgot most of the movie already.

This is definitely a cult classic, a must see for people of all ages. The adventures of the two kids shows them that television shows are not real and that violence does hurt, not just yourself but those you care about. A funny story with deep characters and a plot that reveals the characters' deep and complex psyches. A family movie that all should watch and enjoy
